Well I've just managed to get an e-starter to the UK and fly it. I found a few problems with the design that I changed but other than that things look good...

As for repairing crash damage I can say that it's pretty good. I managed to hit a house at about 30mph.... yes I know not to fly near houses and built up areas, but the wind changed all of a sudden and before I could bring her down she got swept away and after missing a couple of trees and a telegraph pole she hit a roof.

The body of the plane stopped on the roof but the wings snapped and flow off into some ones garden and the prop/gearbox took a nasty knock too.

Anyway with a new gearbox, prop and an amount of 4min epoxy.. she's airborne again on the same wings...

I've been flying the GWS tiger moth for a while and find it hard to retrain my brain to use ailerons... hence the crash!

So my advice is to start with four channels!
